Call for Caution on Test Coal Seam Gas Wells

CHAIRMAN of the Manning Alliance, Peter Epov, is calling on all community groups and alliances to tread carefully on the subject of the proposed coal seam gas test wells in Gloucester.

"Groups and alliances in the region should not be talking up blockades and direct action and distracting the debate from the important core strategic issues, before they have the full background and understand all the consequences," Mr Epov said.

Groups should act responsibly and not distract the media nor the public with sensationalised concerns and assertions in an irresponsible manner just for the outcome of a few column inches or a 30 second grab on the news, he said.

"They need to remember the story of the boy who cried wolf once too often."
